Port Acres/Green Acres

Who would’ve thunk it: cockfighting in Port Acres.

That’s exactly what was exposed Thursday when police raided a house on 60th Street.

This is a stunner. Or at least it is unless you were one of the “in” crowd who knew about the rooster rasslin’ all along.

Cockfighting is supposed to take place in sleepy rural areas, like deep East Texas or the swamps of Louisiana.

Granted, Port Acres isn’t exactly downtown Manhattan. But it does have lots of people, which is what cockfighters don’t want.

You see, more people means more potential calls to police. And since cockfighting is illegal and all that, a little discretion is preferred.

Another thing: The police raid occurred at 11 a.m. Whoever heard of a cockfight in the morning? Don’t the International Rules of Cockfighting require late afternoon starts at the earliest, and preferably anytime after the sun goes down?

I just hope the fine people of Port Acres can recover from this embarrassment. Good thing the cops didn’t notice the meth lab next door.
